the military channel (or A&E, or the science channel, or one of the few other channels that I watch) did a show on the construction and sea trials of one of our newer carriers. seems like it was the bush, but I don’t recall.
they filmed (or videoed, I guess) the high speed rudder test. it was intense. sailors were ridiculously close to laying on the deck to remain upright. on the starboard side of the hangar deck, all you could see was sky. on the port side, nothing but sea.
nothing that massive should roll over on it’s side like that.
On NIMITZ in the Spring of 1988 off the coast of Oregon we took a 24 degree roll (Air Wing was not on board). The wave that hit us knocked the ship 15 deg off course and over half the yellow gear in the hangar bay broke lose and played bumper cars.
